Best free apps to post to all social media at once
deploy.social's free plan posts five videos a month to all seven platforms, no card and no end date, and it's one of eight apps below with a real standing free plan rather than a trial that expires.
How we chose
Every entry here has a free plan with no end date, read off the tool's own pricing page, not a trial that expires or asks for a card. A lot of cross-posting tools only offer a trial, which is a fine way to test a tool but not free in the way this search means, so they're covered instead on the full cross-posting tools roundup.
The list
deploy.social
$0 for 5 videos a month to all seven platforms: YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels, Threads, X and Bluesky. No card, no end date, and one video counts once no matter how many platforms it reaches. Best for: the widest free reach across platforms, X and Bluesky included. Fair weakness: five videos a month is a real cap, so a daily poster will outgrow it and need Standard at $15 a month.
ShortSync
$0 for 5 uploads a month. Best for: a creator who wants the free plan from the tool built specifically around this workflow. Fair weakness: past the free plan, it prices in euros, so the dollar cost moves with the exchange rate.
Planoly
$0 for 10 uploads a month on its mobile app. Best for: the highest raw post count on this list, if Instagram is your main platform. Fair weakness: its own auto-post page schedules X as a reminder you post yourself, not an automatic publish, and Bluesky isn't on its platform list.
Metricool
$0 for 20 posts a month, with built-in analytics. Best for: a creator who wants to see performance numbers without paying. Fair weakness: LinkedIn and X aren't part of the free tier by Metricool's own pricing page.
Buffer
$0 for 3 channels, 10 scheduled posts each. Best for: the most recognizable name here, with a polished mobile app on the free plan too. Fair weakness: three channels doesn't cover all seven platforms, and Buffer's own Help Center says video can't be bulk-uploaded on any plan, free included.
Socialync
$0 for 5 posts a month, up to 5 accounts across 8 of its 9 platforms (X is paid-only). Best for: the widest platform spread on a free plan after deploy.social. Fair weakness: the paid jump is a full plan change at $20 a month, with no middle ground.
Publer
$0 for 3 accounts, X excluded. Best for: trying the exact paid experience, since the free plan isn't a stripped-down demo. Fair weakness: three accounts is the tightest account limit on this list.
Postiz
Open source, so self-hosting it costs whatever a small server costs, not a subscription. Best for: a technical creator who'd rather run the tool than pay monthly for it. Fair weakness: the hosted version has no standing free plan, only a trial, so free here means doing the hosting yourself.

Questions
Is there a free app to post to all social media at once?
deploy.social's free plan posts 5 videos a month to all seven major platforms, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok, Facebook Reels, Threads, X and Bluesky, with no end date and no card. It's the widest free reach of the eight apps on this list.
What's the best free cross-posting app for TikTok and Instagram Reels?
deploy.social, ShortSync and Planoly all post free to both. deploy.social covers five more platforms on the same free plan, including X and Bluesky; Planoly allows more uploads a month but its free plan is mobile-app only and doesn't reach Bluesky.
Do these free plans ever expire?
No. Every app on this page has a standing $0 plan with no end date. Tools with only a time-boxed trial, like Later, OneUp and Blotato, aren't included here; see the full cross-posting tools roundup for those.
Can I post to X for free with any of these?
Yes, with deploy.social, at no extra cost on the free plan. Publer, Socialync and Metricool all leave X out of their free tiers, by their own pricing pages.
